Hear all about Nebraska's unlimited possibilities.
I would like to take this time and thank you for awarding me the Milton G. Waldbaum Scholarship. I come from a family of 6 children. I am the second child and 3 of us are currently attending college. Getting scholarships really helps my mom out and takes some stress of of her for us to attend college. She has always preached to us that she wants us to attend college and succeed. I know that she struggles but does her best to help all of us out.Benjamin Henderson, Scholarship Recipient (0 comments)

The Campaign for Nebraska. Unlimited Possibilities.
What does it mean and why are we doing it?
The University of Nebraska Foundation is involved in a comprehensive fundraising campaign to fund university priorities such as student scholarships, faculty recruitment, research and program support. The campaign will conclude in 2014.
“This campaign is focused on opportunities for students, on expanding research in areas we are already renowned and on making a difference in Nebraska,” said James B. Milliken, president of the University of Nebraska. “The campaign will continue to build on the university’s tremendous momentum.”
That momentum includes steady enrollment increases and improvements that are keeping more of the state’s top scholars in Nebraska. As well as record numbers for external funding for research.
Campaign Update:
UNL entrepreneur makes a dog’s life even tastier
Ashley Nunnenkamp makes gourmet treats for dogs.
She makes them out of pumpkins from her family’s farm, using puree from the damaged or mislabeled cans.
She did her research. She talked to veterinarians. She learned that pumpkin is really good for dogs.
She added peanut butter, because she learned dogs love peanut butter. She frosts the treats with dried yogurt and molds them into bones and other fun shapes. She sells them individually and in gift baskets.
Ashley, an Engler Scholar at UNL, is an entrepreneur. She wants to create jobs in her hometown of Sutton, Neb., and grow her business from there.
“Pupkins Bakery.”
That’s what she named it.
Her own pup, Peyton, likes her gourmet treats a lot. So do most other dogs.
But what did the judges in a recent business-plan contest think of them?
